Reynolds struggling, Mostert missing straight line speed

That’s 10 laps down, 151 to go.

Race leader Brodie Kostecki has well and truly settled into this race, he holds a 1.281 second lead.

Some of our strugglers include Aaron Reynolds who has dropped five places since the start of the race and is currently back in 26th. He’s had a few lock-ups around the circuit, and the team are looking to get him into the pit lane as soon as possible...they could really use a safety car right about now rather than losing precious time on an early pit stop.

Meanwhile, Chaz Mostert has gained a place and is up in ninth, but has been complaining over the radio to his team about not having enough straight-line speed.

Lights out at Mount Panorama

We’ve had our formation lap, and it’s lights out in Bathurst.

Brodie Kostecki holds the lead out of the first turn, with Richie Stanaway jumping from fourth to third after the first couple of turns – that’s bad news for Cam Waters, who has already lost two positions.

It’s looking like a five-to-six stop race (four is possible), with the hard compound tyre the favourite of the day. That could all change depending on how many safety cars we have today.

Waters on the front row, hot on Kotecki’s heels

All eyes are on Cam Waters today as the two-time Supercars runner-up, and three-time finisher on the Bathurst 1000 podium looks to secure his first championship title.

The long-time prodigy won three races in 2024, with two more second place finishes and a third place finish.

Waters is racing alongside James Moffat for Tickford Racing in a Ford Mustang. The 30-year-old was outperformed by competitor Brodie Kostecki at the top-10 shootout on Saturday, narrowly placing second after falling short by 0.131 seconds.

Waters is fourth in the current Supercars standings, with 1834 points, trailing behind Red Bull Ampol Racing’s Broc Feeney. He first made his debut in the 2011 Bathurst 1000.
